Archpriest Viktor Tseshkovsky reposes in the Lord

15 марта, 2021 - 10:41

On Monday, March 15, 2021, the first day of Great Lent, Archpriest Viktor Tseshkovsky, cleric of the Western American Diocese and Rector of Protection of the Holy Virgin Russian Orthodox Church in Hollywood, CA, died at the age of 62.

In order to compensate for the absence of daily church commemorations for the departed, ...
